I'm looking at getting this little lot. Wonder what i can expect to overclock the CPU and the memory to??

2 x OCZ 2GB (2 x 1GB) PC2-6400C4 800MHz SLI-Ready Edition Low Latency Dual Channel DDR2 (OCZ2N800SR2GK) (4GB Total)

3.00Ghz + on the Quad core, seeing as it is the G0 edition, most people can get them to 3.4 so i wouldnt take anything under 3.0Ghz.

You need to change that mobo.

Get a P35 chipset instead.

good advice. Abit IP35 Pro would be a very good choice, but it's up to yourself.

to run my 2 8800GTS 640mb.

If you must have a SLI mobo then get a 680i and make sure its the new revision as the Asus P5N32-E PLUS SLi nForce (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard will not clock quads very well.

Which you will need to do as to not be the bottleneck.

If you haven't purchased the GTS yet then get a single GTX instead.

??

The Asus website says it is based on the 680i chipset.

Am i missing something?

In reviews its limited when clocking quads.
